There wore fair attendance at the Polo greending Causeway Bay, yesterday afternoon to witness the interport match between Hongkong and Shanghai, and it was an excellent game they witnessed. The players were: -

:
Hongkong-Captain Coleman, A.D.C., Mr Mr. H. Large, (3rd Middlesex), Mr. C F Ross, and Captain Beddon, R.A.
The men of both ports were in the pink of obadition, therefore it was but natural, after all the training which preceded the event, that the game should be a fast one. No opportunites were missed by either team, who defended and attacked alternately, the reenit being that the match onder with the store standing one all-

In conclusion, Staff-Surgeon Gsskoll maken an interesting proposal.
"I would suggest that a British system of physical training might well be devised," he rays, "that would on istrip all others, and a good scheme on which to work would be the analysis by kinematograms of the movements of the champions in each line of useful physical

"I have great pleasure in giving particulars of two complete cures dè rived from the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
"In my own case, for more than six mooth was suffering from disorder on my scalp and in consequence was fast losing my hair. I was advised to give Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Olutament a trial, which I luckily did. I adopted the treatment prescribed and at the end of ou mouth was completely cured. This was at the beginning of 1965. Since that time my head has been restored to its normal state, and no further out- bresk has occurred, and whenever I have had the opportunity I always recommend the Cutiearn Remedies.

At such periods they were most painful as well as quite useless, and gloves were always obliged to be worn.

Fin ally, she was advised to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, which wo are thankful to say effected a complete eure, as she has had no recurrence of the trolde for the last three years.
